Former palace which currently consists of 4 villas, located in a privileged setting in Nice, with panoramic views over the Baie des Anges, and an incredible solarium terrace.

In need of complete restoration, this stunning property was originally built in 1870 by an Italian entrepreneur, it was transformed when purchased in 1890 by British merchant Achille Larrey, who renamed it Beausite. Not content with the modest exterior, he had local architect Sebastian-Marcel Biasini enlarge and refurbish the property, giving it an impressive melange of Victorian and Neo-Pompeian architecture. 1910 saw the construction of Villa Isba, which became a recluse for Madame Larrey during her final years, and Villa Les Roches and Villa Hyacinthe, found use as guest housing and staff accommodation.

Bought in 1920 by British diamond merchant, Lewis Lindon, who lived there with his family until 1941, when they relocated to Switzerland. In 1948, the property was sold to Gisele Tissier, a famed artist, poet, harpist and owner of a high fashion store in Paris. She installed 18 harps and 3 pianos and it took 10 trucks to move all her belongings. She spent the rest of her life in the property, composing over 400 musical pieces.

Gaining listed status in 1987, the illustrious property boasts unrivalled sea views over the Baie Des Anges. South-west facing, the solarium terrace and large gardens look out towards the harbour of Nice and beyond.
